George washington's government solved some of their economic problems

a) imposing income taxes
b) imposing tariffs
c) taxes paper goods
d) putting up tolls roads

George Washington was the first president of the United States, for two consecutive terms (1789-1796). One of the questions of that time was how to pay the debt the US had after several years of war. One solution was to impose tariffs on imports and exports (B).

Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), then-Secretary of the Treasury, proposed a series of progressive tariffs in order to have a source of income to pay the debt and to support the growth of the country. One example is the Tariff of 1789 which created the collection of duties on imported goods.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
